HYMENOMYCETES. 
PoLysTICTus OBESUS E. & E. 
On the ground, in contact with, and partly attached to decay- 
ing pine limbs partly buried in the soil, Newfield, N. J., and Fair- 
mount Park, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Stipitate. Stipe central, spongy, velutinous, dark cinnamon, 
4-6 cm. high, %4-1¥% cm. thick above, enlarged below to 1-3 cm.; 
pileus convex then depressed in the center, obconical at first with 
the margin obtuse, then spreading out with margin acute, color 
lighter than that of the stipe, yellowish-cinnamon, surface uneven, 
velutinous, sub-colliculose, not zonate, 4-6 cm. across ; pores irreg- 
ular, short (1 mm.), at first round with margins thick, finally irreg- 
ular and subsinuous, 1%—-I mm. across, margins acute; spores 
elliptical, ferruginous, 7-8 X 4-5y. 
This might, perhaps, be considered a thick-fleshed form of 
Polystictus perennis (L.). The tomentose-velutinous covering of 
the pileus and stipe is the same as that of Mucronoporus tomen- 
Zosus (Fr.), but the hymenium is unarmed. 
CORTICIUM PORTENTOSUM CRYSTALLOPHORUM E. & E. 
On bark of dead trees or logs, St. Martinville, La., December, 
1895. (Langlois, no. 2438.) 
Closely adnate, roughened by the inequalities of the bark, . 
cream-color, about 1% mm. thick, in parts, stratose, tough, cori- 
aceous, margin determinate, texture of densely and closely inter- 
woven fibrils, enclosing abundant coarse amorphous crystals, 
confluent for 10 cm. or more, and 4—6 cm. wide; margin here 
and there obscurely and briefly subfimbriate. Has the general 
appearance of C. deve Pers. 
Differs from the type in the abundant amorphous crystals. 
CYATHUS RUFIPES E. & E. 
Underside of old sods, in a plowed field, Rooks Co., Kansas, 
July, 1893 (E. Bartholomew). 
Peridium slender-obconical, about 1 cm. high and 4 mm. wide, 
thin, dark lead color and smooth inside (not striate above, covered 
outside with a coarse tow-colored strigose-tomentose coat, and 
with a tuft of reddish-brown tomentum at the base, margin conni-
